"Stand Forever" Ep. 35 | Truth—Academic & Divine Methods of Learning | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
Scripture CentralShow Notes
Can anyone know the truth and if so, how? How do you close the gap between your beliefs and the truth? How can you discern between truth and error? How can you avoid deception?Having considered both the scientific method of experience and the analytical method of reason, today we turn our attention to the last two methods, study or the academic method and revelation or the divine method.The academic method of learning involves study of the written word. Study is as essential as experience and reason in the pursuit of truth, as essential to knowledge as breath is to life.Answers to the primary questions do not come by answering the secondary questions. There are answers to the secondary questions, but you cannot prove a positive by disproving every negative. You cannot prove the Church is true by disproving every claim made against it. That will never work. It is a flawed strategy. Ultimately there has to be affirmative proof and with the things of God affirmative proof finally and surely comes by revelation through the Spirit and power of the Holy Ghost.

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores Jeremiah 31–38 and the book of Lamentations, taking us into some of the darkest chapters in the Old Testament: the final days and devastating fall of Judah. Lynne examines the stories of the last five kings of Judah and the political, spiritual, and personal choices that led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the collapse of the house of Judah. Through Jeremiah’s eyes, we see the horrors of conquest, famine, violence, captivity, and the heartbreaking suffering of a people watching their world disappear.Yet even amid destruction, Jeremiah’s message contains some of Scripture’s most powerful promises of hope and restoration. Lynne explores the covenant themes surrounding Israel, Judah, Jerusalem, mothers, daughters, wives, and the imagery of God’s relationship with His people. Lamentations gives voice to the grief of a nation—and Jeremiah reminds us that even after judgment, the Lord has not abandoned His covenant people. What can these ancient stories teach us about faith, loss, repentance, and the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ?#Jeremiah #Lamentations #OldTestament #BibleStudy #WomenInScripture #HandmaidensHaremsAndHeroines #LynneHiltonWilson #Jerusalem #Judah #JesusChrist #ScriptureCentral
Because of sin, all die spiritually, cut off from the presence of God. Jesus Christ alone bridges that awful gap. Because of Him you can be born again, you can receive God’s greatest gifts: the gift of His Spirit and the gift of His life, by the gift of His Son. Jesus Christ is the Life.
There are two critical dimensions to Christ as the Life. He is the Resurrection (victory over physical death) and the Life (victory over spiritual death).
